Celebration of Foolish Mortals
I watched the brick jungles far away from the hilltop where I sang to the deafening silence and the drumming of streams. There I sat, shaded by gray clouds of loneliness. The grass beneath me seemed so black and the soil so white. Leagues away, the sound of boisterous crowd filled the air. With cheers and joys they celebrated the day of Eve, a day of life. But here I am, sighing and staring, shaking my head to their foolishness.
Do they not know? Are they so blind? Why Eve requires a celebration when it is her sin that imprison us in this unholy land? Yet they march and sing, cheer and drink in her name. What name? I said. The name of our mother who defiled the garden of god and brought His wrath upon us all? What name is it? The name who committed the sin so great! What name? I asked. The name whom you foolishly celebrate.
I sighed...This world is blind and deft. I shall not fit to be living here. "I must go," I said to myself. "I must meet my love and fly away."
And as I sat, under the black oak tree that looms over a garden of black roses, a raven bird perched over a branch. In his ruby orbs, I can see my own reflection, staring at it, utterly in awe. This raven, I see, understands me. He knows this day not for celebration, but for moaning and grief. His black feather engulfed him like a cloak of a king and for long, I have wished to be his queen.
I extended a friendly hand, hoping that he will fly onto my arms and give me a sweet embrace. But, no. There it perched soundlessly, staring with eyes that can consume my entire world. Smiling, I stood.
"There, you perched so majestically, my love. It contents me to see that you do well. Have you forgotten our promise still, my love? For I have waited beneath the mansions of the moon for us to share our nightly dreams." I spoke with much gentle. A manner befitting of a royal raven. "Have you missed me as I missed you, my love?" I wondered aloud. "Have your heart beat for me as much as I have for you? Have you come to answer my prayer, my love? To be my king in a lonely castle?"
Yet, he moved not. He looked into my eyes, still and silent. His eyes so cold, so menacing, it sent chills through my veins. Under the summer sun, I can feel my body quiver under his gaze. So cold, my love, so cold! So beautifully cold. This chilling sensation that wrapped me in the palms with claws still bare. So great, O you, my love. So great! I am a fugitive, a prisoner, a slave to your cold love.
"Take me, my love. Take me away. Flap your wings and take me fly!" I knelt and cried. This heart is void without his love and this skin is warm without his touch. This air so dry without his presence and this life is empty without his love.
"Take me with you, O great Raven. I shall trade you my arm, if need be."
Then the bird stirred, flapping and stirring in his perch.
"Perhaps, not my arm that you need. Maybe my soul would suffice."
Instantly, he flew from the branch and into the sky and like thunder, he shot down from heaven with his wings drew like a curtain on a sky, wrapping the earth beneath. In a blink of my eyes, the world went black as the depth of his beautiful orbs.
He has came to my life.
He has came to take me away.
He has came to consume my soul.
I am he as he is me.
For in this abyss, I am the queen as he is the king.
There, on a white oak tree, perched two ravens. One with feathers as black as the floor of the ocean and one with golden beak. With their small black eyes, they see the world and leagues away, the world drowned in sea of black ocean.
There, I smile. Today is not the day of Eve. This the day of Lilith. The day where beginning meets end and end is the beginning.
Defiling me,
Pararae
